Session Fixation Attack Vulnerability #29

@blinkerbit

Description

@blinkerbit

Issue Description

The application sets secure cookies but doesn't regenerate session tokens after login, making it vulnerable to session fixation attacks.

Impact

If an attacker can predict or obtain a session token, they can hijack user sessions.

Current Behavior

  • Session tokens are set during login but not regenerated
  • Same session token persists throughout the user's session

Proposed Fix

Implement session token regeneration after successful authentication to prevent session fixation.
